Power Out

From the Des Moines Register:
Power crews scrambled Sunday to restore electricity to more than 250,000 customers, after ice, snow and wind caused the most widespread Iowa power failures in at least a decade — possibly in history.

Some Iowans could remain in the dark for a week or more.

The blackouts were caused by up to three inches of ice, which weighted down power lines, and gusty winds, which whipped the lines until they snapped.

What a mess.
